Topic

What are the effects of wave processes on the coastline of Robin’s Bay North East St. Mary?

Aim

1. To identify the types of wave processes operating along the coastline at Don Christopher’s Cove St. Mary. 2. To describe the features formed along the coastline from Don Christopher’s Cove to Peyton’s Cove

Methodology

On the 24th of May 2011 a group of geography students embarked on a field trip to Robin’s Bay North East St. Mary to study the effects different wave processes have on the coastline in the vicinity of Don Christopher’s Cove and Peyton’s Cove.

At Don Christopher’s Cove the wave-cut platform was observed upon arriving on the beach of Don Christopher’s cove, sediments were randomly selected for observation in order to determine the soil type, further study was done using a metre rule to determine the wave height, a measuring tape to

    Ocean waves are caused by many different factors. Usually waves are created by the wind; the wind transfers its energy to the water, through friction between the air molecules and the water molecules. The stronger the winds, the stronger the waves. Water waves usually do not go horizontally, they only move up and down. Some factors that also cause waves are tsunamis, earthquakes, and hurricanes. Surprisingly, wind speeds, the distance over which the winds blow, and the time that the winds are in contact with the water all determine the height and speed of the wave. Waves can travel thousands of miles from their source of “origin”. But it’s not the water moving, it’s the energy. As a wave approaches shore, friction between the bottom of the wave and the…

    On June 19th, my classmates and I had field trip for Oceanography Lab (OCN 101) class with Professor Ocean Matt Horrigan. We went to Corte Madera Salt Marsh, which is located 12 miles North of San Francisco, to examine how rising and falling of tide effect on water level in the marsh and channel. My hypothesis is tide and water level of marsh and channel has positive relationship. The rising tide may raise the water level of marsh and falling tide make water level of marsh decrease. Therefore, since our experiment was limited in few hours, the water level of marsh will be changed (up or down) in few centimeters. The location map (M-1) and study area map (M-2) will be attached on next page.…

    Coral reefs inhabit many coastal regions around Caribbean islands. These reefs are at once magnificently beautiful yet very fragile and sensitive to even the slightest variation in the waters around it. Coral reefs perform a vital socio- economic and socio-cultural function in the Caribbean. Apart from it being important to human society for its aesthetic appeal, the reefs are also important because of its functions as a tidal break, fish nursery and part of an economic thrust in attracting tourists to the Caribbean.…
